Abstract: With the increasing complexity and dynamic nature of modern power grids, adaptive protection mechanisms have emerged as a promising solution to address the challenges faced by traditional protection systems. These systems dynamically adjust their settings based on real-time grid conditions, enabling faster fault detection, improved fault isolation, and enhanced system stability. The need for such adaptive protection systems has become more pronounced as power systems evolve with the integration of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and microgrids. By leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, smart sensors, and wide-area measurement systems, adaptive protection mechanisms provide a more flexible and resilient approach to grid protection. This paper explores the definition, key features, enabling technologies, and applications of adaptive protection in power systems, with a focus on its role in distribution networks, transmission networks, and the integration of renewable energy sources. The integration of adaptive protection into modern power grids is essential for maintaining grid reliability, minimizing service interruptions, and optimizing the overall performance of power systems.
